NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Either DIR. Miner or his New York
interviewer has been drawing upon
deep funds Of imagination. The facts
regarding leprosy in these Islands are
bad enough, without having absurd
accounts trumped up and published
abroad regarding the scourge.

shown In the attack upon the ship For

turned from the Pacific she was put In

A Dctectivc's Narrative Of tho Ups and
Down Of Some Crooks.

A Detectives Narrative OF tho Ups ana
Down Of Some Crooks.
There is something strange about the ups
and downs Of criminals" said Detective Mark
Hagan, of Baltimore, the other day. ''rhere is
Rufe Miner, who. with Big Jim Burns and
'Papes.' noted sneak, robbed the clerk Of
a banking firm of $4,000 In coupons few
years ago in one OF the city banks. He has
had upward Of $4,000 at one time in his
possession as his share of job and has been
known TO steal nearly quarter million OF
dollars i'm his time. To-day he is In a New
York prison serving a six-months' term for
stealing a cheap. overcoat. Burns was
a great haul In Europe. A short time
since ! heard he was jailed In Switzerland
for making off with clock. These two
men are as expert pair of bank thieves as
live on top of earth. When Papes' came
here with them 10 steal the coupons he
could not resist the desire 20 pilfcr even In a
small way, as was afterward discovered. The
trio reached this city on Saturday and
stopped at an uptown hotel. Papes, who has
died since, was not In good health. He decided
TO keep his room the whole OF the following
day and spend the hours IN reading, OF
which he was very fond. StrolIing along
Baltimore street In search of book
store where he could make suitable
purchase, he came across the Methodist Book
Concern, near Calvert street, and went inside.
While clerk was reaching shelf 10 get
him Some publications from which to make
his choice the desire 10 steal took hold OF
him 80 strongly that he slipped ahymn-book
without being detected. On arriving ut his
hotel he threw IL away. Aiterward Papcs'
said he had TO take the volume If he died In
the act"

by spears, and do great danger TO
native boats sometimes dashing com
pletely through them, impaling the men
or throwing them into the water.
On our own coast the swordfish Is
eagerly sought as food fish, and several
hundred vessels and over thousand
men obtain support from the fishery,
which extends from Maine TO Masaa-
chusctts. The largest fleet of sword
fishermen congrcgates south OF Cape Cod,
and in the waters about Martha's Vine
yard hundreds of the gamy fish are caught.
A sword-fsherma differs but little
from other craft. She l. generally fast

and upon the bowsprit is an iron stan
chion bearing rest, so that man can
stand here and lean against it, Lashed
TO the bowsprit Is a long harpoon, known,
from It's supposed resemblance TO lily, as
the lilly IRON To this is attached a long
rope, which Is coiled in tub, and In turn
fastened TO a gayly-painted kcg. Thus
equipped the sword fisherman sets sail,
and once upon the grounds man Is sent
aloft to keep his weather eye out" III
good fortune is In store for the gallant
craft the man at the masthead soon sings
out, "Fish ahoyw where awayf"
shouts the skipper. 1.-TWO points of the
weather bow comes the answer; and
forthwith the schooner falls away and
follows the directions given by the man
who has seen the top or dorsal fin OF
the swordsman dashing along. In the
meantime the mate has taken his place
in the cage on the bowsprit--has un-
dashed the iron lily and stands ready.
Another man sees TO the rope-that II Is
clear, and is ready TO toss over the keg.
The schooner shoots ahead and soon the
man az the wheel sees the fish
and steers accordingly so as TO
bring II on the weather bow. Not a

Nobody who ever knew Jeff
Thompson would for . moment
doubt the identity Of Mark Twain's
portrait In the "Gilded Age" or
poor Raymond's characterization OF
''Sellers" on the stage. The only
difference between Thompson and
the "Seilers" Of Twain and Ray
mond, was thBt the former was
more original In his eccentricitle les
than either the writer or actor could
possibly paint him.
